Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of vehicles, and more specifically, to a method, apparatus, and vehicle for providing a charging reminder. Background Technology

[0002] With the increasing popularity of electric vehicles, charging has become a routine part of daily life for electric vehicle users. As a result, the demand for intelligent and user-friendly charging reminders is growing stronger among electric vehicle users. Summary of the Invention

[0003] This application provides a method, device, and vehicle for providing charging reminders. The method can determine whether to remind the user to charge based on the user's usual charging range, temperature, or user type. It can effectively avoid anxiety caused by the user's remaining electric vehicle charge falling below their psychological safety threshold. Furthermore, it can effectively prevent inconvenience caused to the user by the reduction of the remaining charge of the charging object due to sudden temperature changes, thereby improving the user experience.

[0004] Firstly, a charging reminder method is provided, which includes: determining whether to remind the user to charge based on the user's habitual charging range and user type, wherein the minimum charge level in the habitual charging range is a first charge level, the maximum charge level in the habitual charging range is a second charge level, the second charge level is greater than or equal to the first charge level, and the user type includes home charging users or non-home charging users; when it is determined that the user needs to be reminded to charge, a charging reminder notification is sent to the user.

[0005] Alternatively, the user's preferred charging range can also be a single value, where the first and second charge values ​​are equal.

[0006] It should be understood that the home charging user mentioned in the embodiments of this application refers to a user whose usual charging location is a home charging station; the non-home charging user refers to a user whose usual charging location is not a home charging station. The home charging station may be, for example, a charging station in the parking lot of the user's residential community, a charging station corresponding to the user's fixed parking space at home, or a charging station that is less than a certain distance from the user's home address.

[0007] Optionally, whether a user is a home charger user can be entered by the user on the system based on their own situation; or it can be learned by the system based on the user's charging habits. The user's charging habits can be the user's charging habits over a period of time, or the charging habits corresponding to a certain number of consecutive charges.

[0008] Optionally, when a user's usual charging range is lower than the recommended charging range, a notification will be sent to the user. This notification will remind the user that their usual charging range is too low, that low battery is detrimental to battery health, and that it is recommended to change their charging habits.

[0009] The recommended charging range can be determined based on the performance of the battery being charged. When the user charges the battery when its remaining charge is within the recommended range, it can avoid the impact of low charge on the battery's lifespan and performance.

[0010] In this embodiment, it is possible to determine whether to remind the user to charge based on the user's charging habits and user type. When it is determined that a charging reminder is needed, a charging reminder notification is sent to the user. This effectively avoids anxiety caused by the remaining battery level of the electric vehicle falling below the user's psychological safety threshold. Furthermore, by combining user type with the charging reminder, the method and timing of the reminder are more aligned with the user's habits, thereby improving the user experience.

[0011] In conjunction with the first aspect, in some implementations of the first aspect, it is determined whether to remind the user to charge based on the user's habitual charging range and user type, including: determining whether to remind the user to charge based on the next day's temperature, the user's habitual charging range, and the user type.

[0012] Temperature has a significant impact on the driving range of electric vehicle batteries. In this embodiment, the need for charging is further determined by considering the next day's temperature. When charging is deemed necessary, a charging reminder is sent to the user. This effectively prevents the remaining battery power of the electric vehicle from decreasing due to sudden temperature changes, thus avoiding failure to meet the user's current needs and improving the user experience.

[0013] In conjunction with the first aspect, in some implementations of the first aspect, it is determined whether to remind the user to charge based on the user's habitual charging range and user type, including: when the user is a home charging user, the charging object's state is switched to a non-mobile state, the distance between the charging object and the home address is less than a third threshold, and the current remaining power of the charging object is less than or equal to a second power value, it is determined that the user needs to be reminded to charge.

[0014] Optionally, the object being charged can be an electric vehicle or an intelligent robot.

[0015] Furthermore, when it is determined that the user needs to be reminded to charge, a charging reminder notification is sent to the user, including: when it is determined that the user needs to be reminded to charge, a first charging reminder is sent to the user, the first charging reminder includes a first charging reminder notification displayed on the screen of the charging object, and also includes a first charging reminder voice, the first charging reminder notification is associated with a first control, the first control is used for the user to open the charging port of the charging object.

[0016] The charging object switches to a non-moving state, for example, when the user is detected to have parked (the user is in P gear).

[0017] Optionally, the third threshold can be any value within the range of 0 to 300m, or it can be other values ​​determined based on user input. This application does not limit this.

[0018] The charging port of the device can be either a slow charging port or a fast charging port. Home charging users generally use the slow charging port, while non-home charging users generally use the fast charging port.

[0019] Optionally, the first charging reminder notification and / or the first charging reminder voice message could be, for example: "Based on your charging habits, it's time to charge!"

[0020] In this embodiment, based on determining whether to remind the user to charge according to their charging habits, the system comprehensively considers whether the user is a home charger user and the user's status (mobile or stationary). It then sends a charging reminder to the user in a manner that matches the current situation. This not only ensures timely reminders when needed but also adapts the reminder method to the user's current state, thereby further enhancing the user experience.

[0021] In conjunction with the first aspect, in some implementations of the first aspect, it is determined whether to remind the user to charge based on the next day's temperature, the user's usual charging range, and the user type. This includes: when the user is a home charging user, the charging object's status is switched to a non-mobile state, the distance between the charging object and the home address is less than a third threshold, the next day's temperature is less than a first threshold or greater than a second threshold, and the current remaining charge of the charging object is less than or equal to a third charge value, it is determined that the user needs to be reminded to charge, wherein the third charge value is greater than the second charge value.

[0022] Furthermore, when it is determined that the user needs to be reminded to charge, a charging reminder notification is sent to the user, including: when it is determined that the user needs to be reminded to charge, a first charging reminder is sent to the user, the first charging reminder includes a first charging reminder notification displayed on the screen of the charging object, and also includes a first charging reminder voice, the first charging reminder notification is associated with a first control, the first control is used for the user to open the charging port of the charging object.

[0023] Optionally, the third battery level can be a range of 200km.

[0024] Optionally, the third battery level can be determined based on the user's preferred charging range (first battery level, second battery level), for example, it could be the second battery level + 50km.

[0025] Temperatures below the first threshold are classified as extremely cold zones, while temperatures above the second threshold are classified as extremely hot zones. It should be understood that the extremely cold or extremely hot zones may differ in different regions, and the determination of the extremely cold or extremely hot zones is related to the battery model.

[0026] Optionally, under normal circumstances, the extreme cold range can be a temperature below -10℃ (i.e., the first threshold can be -10℃), and the extreme heat range can be a temperature above 40℃ (i.e., the first threshold can be 40℃).

[0027] Optionally, the first charging reminder notification and / or the first charging reminder voice message could be, for example: "The temperature will be low tomorrow, we recommend charging in advance!"

[0028] In this embodiment, based on the user's charging habits and the next day's temperature to determine whether to send a charging reminder, the system comprehensively considers whether the user is a home charger user and the user's status (mobile or stationary). It then sends a charging reminder to the user in a format that matches the current situation. This not only ensures timely reminders when needed but also adapts the reminder method to the user's current state, thereby further enhancing the user experience.

[0029] In conjunction with the first aspect, in some implementations of the first aspect, it is determined whether to remind the user to charge based on the user's habitual charging range and user type, including: when the user is a non-home charging user and the charging object is in a mobile state, periodically determining the current remaining power of the charging object; when the current remaining power of the charging object is less than or equal to a second power value, determining that it is necessary to remind the user to charge.

[0030] The periodic determination of the current remaining power of the charging object can be performed at regular intervals.

[0031] Furthermore, in one implementation, when it is determined that a user needs to be reminded to charge, a charging reminder notification is sent to the user, including: when the current remaining power of the charging object is less than or equal to a second power value and greater than a first power value, a second charging reminder is sent to the user, the second charging reminder including a second charging reminder notification displayed on the screen of the charging object, wherein the second charging reminder notification is displayed in the form of a suggestion card at the bottom of the screen of the charging object.

[0032] Optionally, the suggestion card can be a Xiaoyi suggestion card or other forms of card; this application does not limit this.

[0033] Optionally, the second charging reminder notification is displayed as a suggestion card in the lower quarter area of ​​the screen of the object being charged.

[0034] Optionally, the second charging reminder notification is displayed in the form of a suggestion card in a blank space on the screen of the object being charged.

[0035] In another implementation, when it is determined that a user needs to be reminded to charge, a charging reminder notification is sent to the user, including: when the current remaining power of the charging object is less than or equal to a first power value, a third charging reminder is sent to the user. The third charging reminder includes a third charging reminder notification displayed on the screen of the charging object, and also includes a third charging reminder voice. The third charging reminder notification is associated with a third control, which is used by the user to navigate to the target charging station.

[0036] Optionally, the target charging station is associated with a notification label, which is used to provide users with entertainment information related to the target charging station.

[0037] In this embodiment, when the charging object is in motion, for safety reasons or to avoid interrupting the user's process, a weak reminder (e.g., a suggestion card) is given when the battery level is within the user's preferred range; a strong reminder (e.g., displaying a charging reminder notification and issuing a charging reminder voice) is given only when the battery level is below the user's preferred range. This not only allows for charging reminders based on the user's charging habits but also enables different levels of reminders to be issued in different situations, taking into account the charging object's status and remaining battery level. Furthermore, the target charging stations recommended by the charging reminder notifications are associated with entertainment information, allowing users to further determine their target charging stations and plan their subsequent trips based on this information, thus enhancing the user experience.

[0038] In conjunction with the first aspect, in some implementations of the first aspect, the method further includes: when the temperature of the next day is less than the first threshold or greater than the second threshold, and the current remaining power of the charging object is less than or equal to the third power value, issuing a third charging reminder to the user, wherein the third power value is greater than the second power value.

[0039] In this embodiment, when the object being charged is in motion (e.g., the vehicle is in motion), based on determining whether a charging reminder is needed according to the user's usual charging range and user type, the system further considers the next day's temperature to determine if the object needs charging. When charging is determined to be necessary, a charging reminder is sent to the user. This effectively avoids the reduction of remaining battery power in electric vehicles due to sudden temperature changes, which could prevent the vehicle from meeting the user's current needs and thus improve the user experience.

[0040] In conjunction with the first aspect, in some implementations of the first aspect, the method further includes: when it is determined that a user needs to be reminded to charge, issuing a fourth charging reminder notification to the user, the fourth charging reminder notification including one or more of the following options: a charging reminder card displayed on the screen of the first electronic device, a charging reminder voice emitted by the first electronic device, an ambient light reminder emitted by the charging object, or a fragrance reminder emitted by the charging object, wherein the first electronic device and the charging object have a binding relationship.

[0041] Optionally, the first electronic device can be a screen-equipped device such as a mobile phone, tablet, projector, television, smart bracelet, or watch; or it can be a screenless device such as a speaker.

[0042] In this embodiment, while sending a first charging reminder / second charging reminder / third charging reminder to the user, a fourth charging reminder notification can be sent to the user through a fragrance system, a lighting system, other electronic devices, etc. This allows the user to receive the charging reminder in a timely manner, and the combination of multiple methods can also provide the user with a better experience.

[0043] In conjunction with the first aspect, in some implementations of the first aspect, when it is determined that a user needs to be reminded to charge, a fourth charging reminder notification is sent to the user, including: when the user is a non-home charging user and the charging object is in a non-mobile state, periodically determining the current remaining power of the charging object; when the current remaining power of the charging object is less than or equal to a second power value, sending the fourth charging reminder notification to the user.

[0044] The term "timely determination of the current remaining power of the charging object" refers to determining the current remaining power of the charging object at one or more fixed time points. For example, it could be determining the current remaining power of the charging object at 4 pm every day, or it could be determining the current remaining power of the charging object at 10 am and 7 pm every day. The fixed time point could also be other time points determined based on user input, or it could be a certain time point set by system default or automatically. This application does not limit this.

[0045] In this embodiment of the application, when the charging object is not in use, a charging reminder can be sent to the user through a mobile phone or other bound device when the power is low, thereby avoiding the charging object from having too low a power due to long-term disuse.

[0046] In conjunction with the first aspect, in some implementations of the first aspect, the method further includes: when the temperature of the next day is less than the first threshold or greater than the second threshold, and the current remaining power of the charging object is less than or equal to the third power value, issuing a fourth charging reminder to the user.

[0047] In this embodiment, the impact of temperature on the battery is further considered, which can effectively avoid the reduction of the remaining power of the charging object due to sudden temperature changes, thus failing to meet the user's current usage needs and improving the user experience.

[0048] Secondly, a method for providing a charging reminder is provided, the method comprising: determining whether it is necessary to remind the user to charge based on the temperature of the next day; and when it is determined that it is necessary to remind the user to charge, sending a charging reminder notification to the user.

[0049] In this embodiment, it is possible to determine whether the charging object needs charging based on the next day's temperature. When it is determined that the charging object needs charging, a charging reminder is sent to the user. This effectively avoids the charging object's remaining power decreasing due to sudden temperature changes, thus preventing it from failing to meet the user's current usage needs and improving the user experience.

[0050] In conjunction with the second aspect, in some implementations of the second aspect, determining whether to remind the user to charge based on the next day's temperature includes: determining whether to remind the user to charge based on the user type and the next day's temperature, where the user type includes home charging users or non-home charging users.

[0051] It should be understood that the home charging user mentioned in the embodiments of this application refers to a user whose usual charging location is a home charging station; the non-home charging user refers to a user whose usual charging location is not a home charging station. The home charging station may be, for example, a charging station in the parking lot of the user's residential community, a charging station corresponding to the user's fixed parking space at home, or a charging station that is less than a certain distance from the user's home address.

[0052] Optionally, whether a user is a home charger user can be entered by the user on the system based on their own situation; or it can be learned by the system based on the user's charging habits. The user's charging habits can be the user's charging habits over a period of time, or the charging habits corresponding to a certain number of consecutive charges.

[0053] In this embodiment, based on determining whether to send a charging reminder to the user according to the next day's temperature, different reminder rules (reminder triggering conditions) are set for both home charging users and non-home charging users, taking into account whether the electric vehicle is a home charging user. This allows the timing of charging reminders to match the user's habits, thereby further improving the user experience.

[0054] In conjunction with the second aspect, in some implementations of the second aspect, determining whether to remind the user to charge based on the next day's temperature includes: determining whether to remind the user to charge based on the user's habitual charging range, the next day's temperature, and the user type, wherein the minimum charge level of the habitual charging range is a first charge level, the maximum charge level of the habitual charging range is a second charge level, and the second charge level is greater than or equal to the first charge level.

[0055] Alternatively, the user's preferred charging range can also be a single value, where the first and second charge values ​​are equal.

[0056] In this embodiment, based on determining whether to send a charging reminder to the user according to the user's charging type and the next day's temperature, the system also comprehensively considers the user's charging habits and sends a charging reminder in a format that matches the current situation. This effectively avoids anxiety experienced by users when the remaining battery power of their electric vehicle falls below their psychological safety threshold, thereby further improving the user experience.

[0057] In conjunction with the second aspect, in some implementations of the second aspect, it is determined whether to remind the user to charge based on the temperature of the next day, including: when the temperature of the next day is less than a first threshold or greater than a second threshold, and the remaining power of the charging object is less than or equal to a third power value, it is determined that the user needs to be reminded to charge.

[0058] The third power value is greater than the second power value mentioned above.

[0059] Optionally, the third battery level can be a range of 200km.

[0060] Optionally, the third battery level value can be determined based on the user's habitual charging range, where the minimum battery level in this range is the first battery level value, the maximum battery level in this range is the second battery level value, the second battery level value is greater than or equal to the first battery level value, and the third battery level value is greater than the second battery level value. For example, it could be the second battery level value + 50km.

[0061] Temperatures below the first threshold are classified as extremely cold zones, while temperatures above the second threshold are classified as extremely hot zones. It should be understood that the extremely cold or extremely hot zones may differ in different regions, and the determination of the extremely cold or extremely hot zones is related to the battery model.

[0062] Optionally, under normal circumstances, the extreme cold range can be a temperature below -10℃ (i.e., the first threshold can be -10℃), and the extreme heat range can be a temperature above 40℃ (i.e., the first threshold can be 40℃).

[0063] Optionally, the object being charged can be an electric vehicle or an intelligent robot.

[0064] In this embodiment of the application, when the temperature of the next day is extremely cold or extremely hot, it indicates that the temperature will have a significant impact on the battery. In these two cases, considering the impact of temperature on the battery, the user's charging threshold is appropriately increased, and the user is reminded to charge in advance. This can avoid the inconvenience caused to the user by the reduction of the remaining power of the charging object due to sudden temperature changes, thereby improving the user experience.

[0065] In conjunction with the second aspect, in some implementations of the second aspect, determining whether to remind the user to charge based on the user type and the next day's temperature includes: when the user is a home charging user, the charging object's state is switched to a non-mobile state, the distance between the charging object and the home address is less than a third threshold, the next day's temperature is less than a first threshold or greater than a second threshold, and the remaining power of the charging object is less than or equal to a third power value, it is determined that the user needs to be reminded to charge.

[0066] Optionally, the third threshold can be any value within the range of 0 to 300m, or it can be other values ​​determined based on user input. This application does not limit this.

[0067] Furthermore, when it is determined that the user needs to be reminded to charge, a charging reminder notification is sent to the user, including: when it is determined that the user needs to be reminded to charge, a first charging reminder is sent to the user, the first charging reminder includes a first charging reminder notification displayed on the screen of the charging object, and also includes a first charging reminder voice, the first charging reminder notification is associated with a first control, the first control is used for the user to open the charging port of the charging object.

[0068] The charging port of the device can be either a slow charging port or a fast charging port. Home charging users generally use the slow charging port, while non-home charging users generally use the fast charging port.

[0069] Optionally, the first charging reminder notification and / or the first charging reminder voice message could be, for example: "The temperature will be low tomorrow, we recommend charging in advance!"

[0070] In this embodiment, based on determining whether to send a charging reminder to the user according to the user type and the next day's temperature, the system comprehensively considers whether the user is a home charger user and the charging object's status (mobile or stationary). Then, it sends a charging reminder to the user in a format that matches the current situation. This not only ensures timely reminders when needed but also adapts the reminder method to the user's current state, thereby further improving the user experience.

[0071] In conjunction with the second aspect, in some implementations of the second aspect, it is determined whether to remind the user to charge based on the user type and the temperature of the next day; when it is determined that it is necessary to remind the user to charge, a charging reminder notification is sent to the user, including: when the user is a non-home charging user, the charging object is detected to be activated, the temperature of the next day is less than a first threshold or greater than a second threshold, and the current remaining power of the charging object is less than or equal to a third power value, it is determined that it is necessary to remind the user to charge, and then a third charging reminder is sent to the user. The third charging reminder includes a third charging reminder notification displayed on the screen of the charging object, and also includes a third charging reminder voice. The third charging reminder notification is associated with a third control, which is used for the user to navigate to the target charging station.

[0072] Optionally, the target charging station is associated with a notification label, which is used to provide users with entertainment information related to the target charging station.

[0073] In this embodiment, when the charging target is a non-home charging user and the charging is activated, it is determined whether to remind the user to charge based on the temperature of the next day, and a charging reminder notification is issued when a reminder is needed. At this time, the charging reminder notification is associated with a recommended charging station; and the target charging station is associated with entertainment information, so that the user can further determine the target charging station and arrange subsequent travel based on the associated entertainment information, thereby further improving the user experience.

[0074] In conjunction with the second aspect, in some implementations of the second aspect, the method further includes: when it is determined that a user needs to be reminded to charge, issuing a fourth charging reminder notification to the user, the fourth charging reminder notification including one or more of the following options: a charging reminder card displayed on the screen of the first electronic device, a charging reminder voice emitted by the first electronic device, an ambient light reminder emitted by the charging object, or a fragrance reminder emitted by the charging object, wherein the first electronic device and the charging object have a binding relationship.

[0075] In this embodiment, a fourth charging reminder notification can be sent to the user simultaneously with a first or third charging reminder via a fragrance system, a lighting system, or other electronic devices. This allows the user to receive the charging reminder in a timely manner, and the combination of multiple methods also provides a better user experience.

[0076] In conjunction with the second aspect, in some implementations of the second aspect, when it is determined that a user needs to be reminded to charge, a fourth charging reminder notification is sent to the user, including: when the user is a non-home charging user and the charging object is in a non-mobile state, the current remaining power of the charging object is determined periodically; when the temperature the next day is less than a first threshold or greater than a second threshold, and the current remaining power of the charging object is less than or equal to a third power value, a fourth charging reminder notification is sent to the user.

[0113] References to "one embodiment" or "some embodiments" as described in this specification mean that one or more embodiments of this application include a specific feature, structure, or characteristic described in connection with that embodiment. Therefore, the phrases "in one embodiment," "in some embodiments," "in other embodiments," "in still other embodiments," etc., appearing in different parts of this specification do not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, but rather mean "one or more, but not all, embodiments," unless otherwise specifically emphasized. The terms "comprising," "including," "having," and variations thereof mean "including but not limited to," unless otherwise specifically emphasized.

[0114] Figure 1 This is a schematic functional block diagram of a vehicle 100 provided in an embodiment of this application. For example... Figure 1 As shown, the vehicle 100 may include a perception system 120, a mapping module 130, peripheral devices 140, and a computing platform 150. Among them,

[0115] The perception system 120 may include several types of sensors for sensing information about the environment surrounding the vehicle 100. For example, the perception system 120 may include a positioning system, which may be a global positioning system (GPS) 121, or a BeiDou system or other positioning system, an inertial measurement unit (IMU) 122, a lidar 123, a millimeter-wave radar 124, an ultrasonic radar 125, and a camera device 126, or more of these.

[0116] Vehicle 100 may include a mapping module 130. The mapping module 130 may use techniques such as object recognition algorithms, structure from motion (SFM) algorithms, video tracking, and simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) to create maps of the environment.

[0117] Vehicle 100 interacts with mobile terminals, external sensors, other vehicles, other computer systems, or users via peripheral devices 140. Peripheral devices 140 may include a wireless communication system 141, an in-vehicle screen 142, a microphone 143, and / or a speaker 144.

[0118] In some possible implementations, peripheral device 140 provides a means for the user of vehicle 100 to interact with user interface 160. For example, in-vehicle screen 142 can provide information to the user of vehicle 100. User interface 160 can also operate in-vehicle screen 142 to receive user input. In-vehicle screen 142 can be operated via a touchscreen. In other cases, peripheral device 140 can provide a means for vehicle 100 to communicate with other devices located within the vehicle. For example, microphone 143 can receive audio (e.g., voice commands or other audio input) from the user of vehicle 100. Similarly, speaker 144 can output audio to the user of vehicle 100.

[0119] Some or all of the functions of vehicle 100 can be controlled by computing platform 150. Computing platform 150 may include processors 151 to 15n (n being a positive integer). A processor is a circuit with signal processing capabilities. In one implementation, the processor can be a circuit with instruction read and execute capabilities, such as a central processing unit (CPU), microprocessor, graphics processing unit (GPU) (which can be understood as a type of microprocessor), or digital signal processor (DSP). In another implementation, the processor can implement certain functions through the logical relationships of hardware circuits. These logical relationships are fixed or reconfigurable. For example, the processor may be a hardware circuit implemented using an application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) or a programmable logic device (PLD), such as an FPGA. In reconfigurable hardware circuits, the process of the processor loading a configuration document and configuring the hardware circuit can be understood as the process of the processor loading instructions to implement some or all of the functions of the aforementioned units. In addition, it can also be hardware circuitry designed for artificial intelligence, which can be understood as an ASIC, such as a neural network processing unit (NPU), tensor processing unit (TPU), deep learning processing unit (DPU), etc. Furthermore, the computing platform 150 may also include a memory for storing instructions. Some or all of the processors 151 to 15n can call the instructions in the memory to execute them and achieve the corresponding functions.

[0120] Alternatively, one or more of these components may be installed separately from or associated with vehicle 100. These components may be communicatively coupled together via wired and / or wireless means.

[0121] Optionally, the components described above are merely examples. In actual applications, components in each of the above modules may be added or removed as needed. Figure 1 This should not be construed as a limitation on the embodiments of this application.

[0122] Optionally, the vehicle 100 may include one or more different types of vehicles, or one or more different types of transport vehicles or movable objects that operate or move on land (e.g., highways, roads, railways, etc.), water (e.g., waterways, rivers, oceans, etc.), or in space. For example, a vehicle may include a car, bicycle, motorcycle, train, subway, airplane, ship, aircraft, robot, or other types of transport vehicles or movable objects, etc., and this application embodiment does not limit this.

[0123] With the increasing popularity of electric vehicles, charging has become a routine part of daily life for electric vehicle users. As a result, the demand for intelligent and user-friendly charging reminders is growing stronger among electric vehicle users.

[0124] Existing charging reminder schemes issue a charging reminder when the vehicle's remaining battery power is below a certain fixed value (e.g., 10% of full charge) or when the remaining battery power is insufficient to reach the destination based on the distance traveled. However, in reality, a vehicle's battery range is not fixed but is affected by environmental factors, and different users may have different charging habits.

[0125] In view of this, embodiments of this application provide a method, apparatus, and vehicle for providing charging reminders. This method can determine whether a user needs to charge their vehicle based on their charging habits and the environment (e.g., ambient temperature), and provides a charging reminder when it is determined that charging is needed. This meets the needs of electric vehicle users for intelligent, personalized, and rational charging reminders, thereby improving the user experience.

[0126] It should be understood that the solution in this application is applicable to smart charging scenarios. For example, it can be applied to charging reminders for electric vehicles; it can also be applied to any electronic device equipped with a rechargeable battery, such as robots, mobile phones, tablets, etc.

[0127] It should also be understood that the embodiments in this application are illustrated using a vehicle as an example of the charging object, but this does not limit the application scenarios of the solution in this application.

[0128] The following, by way of example, combines Figures 2 to 11The following is a description of the interface display diagram corresponding to the charging reminder method provided in the embodiments of this application.

[0129] For example, Figure 2 This illustration shows a schematic diagram of a charging reminder interface provided in an embodiment of this application. This interface schematic diagram is applicable, for example, to a scenario where a home charger user has parked their car after returning home.

[0130] When a user's electric vehicle is a home-charging user (or there is a charging station within a certain range of the user's home parking location), and the vehicle is detected to be in a parked state, the system will determine whether to remind the user to charge based on the vehicle's current remaining battery level and the user's charging habits. If it is determined that a charging reminder is needed, the vehicle will display a charging reminder notification 201 on its in-vehicle display screen 200 (e.g., ...). Figure 2 (As shown).

[0131] Optionally, the charging reminder notification is associated with a control 202, which is used by the user to open the charging port of the electric vehicle.

[0132] The charging port can be either a slow charging port or a fast charging port. Home charging users generally use the slow charging port, while non-home charging users generally use the fast charging port.

[0133] Optionally, after the charging reminder notification 201 is displayed on the vehicle's infotainment display screen 200, the user can close the charging reminder notification 201 by clicking the control 203 associated with the charging reminder notification 201, by clicking a blank area on the vehicle's infotainment display screen 200, by using a shortcut button on the steering wheel, or by using voice commands. This application does not limit the scope of the notification.

[0134] Optionally, while displaying a charging reminder notification on the vehicle's infotainment display screen, a charging reminder voice message 204 may be issued. This voice message 204 may be, for example, "Your car needs to be charged!", "According to your charging habits, it's time to charge your car!", or other charging reminder voice messages. This application does not limit the scope of these messages.

[0135] Optionally, when an electric vehicle is detected to be in Park (P) gear, the electric vehicle is determined to be in a parked state.

[0136] The method for determining whether an electric vehicle is a home charging user will be described in detail later.

[0137] The method of determining whether to remind the user to charge based on the current remaining battery power of the electric vehicle and the user's charging habits can be as follows: determine the user's habitual charging range (first battery power value, second battery power value) based on the user's charging habits, wherein the second battery power value is greater than the first battery power value; when it is determined that the current remaining battery power of the electric vehicle is less than or equal to the second battery power value, it is determined that the user needs to be reminded to charge, and then a charging reminder notification is displayed on the vehicle's infotainment display screen 200.

[0138] It should be understood that in all embodiments of this application, the power value represents the driving range (km) of the electric vehicle.

[0139] Optionally, a user's charging habits include the user's preferred charging time range, the user's preferred remaining battery level range, and the user's preferred charging price range.

[0140] The method for determining a user's habitual charging range based on their charging habits will be described in detail later.

[0141] It should be understood that the display format of the charging reminder notification 201 in the embodiments of this application is not limited. For example, it can be displayed in the form of a pop-up window, in full screen, or in the form of a card. It can be displayed dynamically or statically. This application does not limit this. Furthermore, the text content of the charging reminder notification is not limited. It can be any notification content with charging reminder function.

[0142] Optionally, the display position of the charging reminder notification 201 on the vehicle display screen 200 is not limited. For example, it can be displayed in full screen on the vehicle display screen 200, displayed in a large window on the vehicle display screen, or displayed in a small window in a blank space on the vehicle display screen.

[0143] Optionally, the charging reminder notification sent to the user may also include ambient light reminders (ambient lights inside the vehicle, ambient lights outside the vehicle, projection lights, pixel lights, etc.), seat vibration reminders, fragrance system reminders, wristband reminders, etc., but this application does not limit this.

[0144] It should be understood that in all embodiments of this application, the vehicle system will continuously update the user's habitual charging range. For example, it may be updated once every certain period of time (e.g., once every Monday, or once every half month, etc.), or it may be updated once when the number of charging times reaches a certain value since the last update, or it may be updated based on user input, or it may be updated when a significant change in the user's charging habits is detected, or it may be other possible update methods, which are not limited in this application.

[0145] Optionally, a notification will be sent to the user when the user's usual charging capacity is lower than the recommended charging capacity.

[0146] The recommended charging level can be determined based on the performance of the vehicle's battery. Charging when the remaining charge is at the recommended level can avoid the impact of low charge on battery life and performance. The notification sent to the user can be a notification displayed together with the charging reminder notification 201 (e.g., "Your usual charging range is low. Low charge is not good for battery health. We recommend changing your charging habits!"), or it can be a notification displayed separately on the vehicle's infotainment screen. It can also be a voice prompt to the user (e.g., "Your usual charging range is low. Low charge is not good for battery health. We recommend changing your charging habits!"), or it can be a notification sent synchronously or asynchronously on other electronic devices (e.g., mobile phones, tablets, smart bands, watches, Xiao Ai speakers, etc.).

[0147] It should be understood that the above-mentioned solution of "issuing a notification to the user when the user's usual charging capacity range is lower than the recommended charging capacity value" can be incorporated into all embodiments provided in this application.

[0148] Different users have different psychological safety thresholds for the remaining battery power of electric vehicles. In this embodiment, it is possible to determine whether the electric vehicle driven by the user needs to be charged based on the user's charging habits, and to remind the user to charge when it is determined that the electric vehicle needs to be charged. In this way, it can effectively avoid the anxiety caused by the remaining battery power of the electric vehicle falling below its psychological safety threshold, thereby improving the user experience.

[0149] For example, Figure 3 This illustration shows another charging reminder interface provided in an embodiment of this application. This interface illustration is applicable, for example, to a scenario where a home charger user has parked their car after returning home.

[0150] When the user's electric vehicle is a home-charging user (or there is a charging station within a certain range of the user's home parking location), and the electric vehicle is detected to be in a parked state, the system will determine whether to remind the user to charge based on the electric vehicle's current remaining battery level and the local temperature for the next day. If it is determined that the user needs to be reminded to charge, the electric vehicle will display a charging reminder notification 301 on the vehicle's infotainment display screen 300 (e.g., ...). Figure 3 (As shown).

[0151] Optionally, the charging reminder notification is associated with a control 302, which is used by the user to open the charging port of the electric vehicle.

[0152] The charging port can be either a slow charging port or a fast charging port. Home charging users generally use the slow charging port, while non-home charging users generally use the fast charging port.

[0153] Optionally, after the charging reminder notification 301 is displayed on the vehicle's infotainment display screen 300, the user can close the charging reminder notification 301 by clicking the control 303 associated with the charging reminder notification 301, by clicking a blank area on the vehicle's infotainment display screen 300, by using a shortcut button on the steering wheel, or by using voice commands. This application does not limit the scope of the notification.

[0154] Optionally, while displaying the charging reminder notification 301 on the vehicle's infotainment display screen 300, a charging reminder voice 304 may also be emitted. The charging reminder voice 304 may be, for example, "Your car needs to be charged!", "It will be cold tomorrow, so we recommend charging your car in advance!", or other voice reminders for charging. This application does not limit the specific voice reminders.

[0155] Optionally, when an electric vehicle is detected to be in Park (P) gear, the electric vehicle is determined to be in a parked state.

[0156] The method for determining whether an electric vehicle is a home charging user will be described in detail later.

[0157] The method for determining whether to remind the user to charge based on the current remaining battery power of the electric vehicle and the local temperature the following day can be as follows: first, determine the third battery level of the electric vehicle; when it is determined that the local temperature the following day is in an extremely cold or extremely hot range, and the current remaining battery power of the electric vehicle is less than or equal to the third battery level, it is determined that the user needs to be reminded to charge, and then a charging reminder notification 301 is displayed on the vehicle's infotainment display screen 300.

[0158] Optionally, the third battery capacity of the electric vehicle can be 200km.

[0159] Optionally, the third battery level of the electric vehicle can be determined based on the user's habitual charging range (first battery level, second battery level), for example, it can be the second battery level + 50km.

[0160] The extreme cold or extreme heat ranges may differ in different regions, and the determination of these ranges is related to the battery model. For example, an extreme cold range can be defined as a temperature below or equal to -10°C, while an extreme heat range can be defined as a temperature above 40°C.

[0161] The method for determining a user's habitual charging range based on their charging habits will be described in detail later.

[0162] It should be understood that the display format of the charging reminder notification 301 in this application embodiment is not limited. For example, it can be displayed in the form of a pop-up window, in full screen, or in the form of a card. It can be displayed dynamically or statically. This application does not limit this. Furthermore, the text content of the charging reminder notification 301 is not limited. It can be any notification content with charging reminder function.

[0163] Optionally, the display position of the charging reminder notification 301 on the vehicle display screen 300 is not limited. For example, it can be displayed in full screen on the vehicle display screen 300, displayed in a large window on the vehicle display screen 300, or displayed in a small window in a blank space on the vehicle display screen 300.

[0164] Optionally, the charging reminder notification sent to the user may also include ambient light reminders (ambient lights inside the vehicle, ambient lights outside the vehicle, projection lights, pixel lights, etc.), seat vibration reminders, fragrance system reminders, wristband reminders, etc., but this application does not limit this.

[0165] Temperature has a significant impact on the driving range of electric vehicle batteries. In this embodiment, it is possible to determine whether the electric vehicle driven by the user needs to be charged in advance based on the temperature of the following day. When it is determined that the electric vehicle needs to be charged, a charging reminder is sent to the user. This effectively avoids the reduction of the remaining battery power of the electric vehicle due to sudden temperature changes, which could prevent it from meeting the user's current needs and thus improve the user experience.

[0166] For example, Figure 4 This illustration shows another charging reminder interface display diagram provided in an embodiment of this application. This interface diagram can be applied, for example, to scenarios where an electric vehicle is in motion.

[0167] When the electric vehicle being driven by the user is in motion, the system determines whether a charging reminder is needed based on the electric vehicle's current remaining battery level (e.g., periodically determined), the user's charging habits, and / or the local temperature for the following day. When a charging reminder is determined, the electric vehicle displays a charging reminder notification 401 on its in-vehicle display screen 400 (e.g., ...). Figure 4 (as shown in (a)).

[0168] Optionally, while the vehicle is in motion, for driving safety reasons, the charging reminder notification 401 is displayed in the blank space below the vehicle display screen 400 in the form of a suggestion card (e.g., in the form of Xiaoyi suggestion).

[0169] Optionally, the suggestion card may display navigation controls that allow users to navigate directly to the recommended charging station.

[0170] Optionally, the user can also pull up the suggestion card (charging reminder notification 401). When the user pulls up the charging reminder notification 401, the charging reminder notification 401 is converted into a charging reminder notification 402 (e.g., ...). Figure 4 (as shown in (b)).

[0171] Optionally, the charging reminder notification 402 includes a list of recommended charging stations. Each charging station in the list corresponds to a prompt label, which is used to provide the user with entertainment information related to the corresponding charging station. The user can select the target charging station based on this entertainment information.

[0172] Optionally, the entertainment information may include information on shopping malls, restaurants, libraries, cinemas, and amusement parks near the charging station.

[0173] Optionally, the charging reminder notification 402 is associated with a control 403, which is used by the user to navigate to the target charging station.

[0174] Optionally, the charging reminder notification 402 is associated with a control 404, which is used by the user to search for other charging stations.

[0175] Other charging stations can be charging stations within a certain range nearby, charging stations along the way, or charging stations that the user frequently uses.

[0176] Optionally, when a user arrives at the target charging station, a control to open the charging port will automatically pop up on the vehicle's display screen. The user can open the charging port by clicking the control or by voice command. The charging port can be either a slow charging port or a fast charging port. Home charging users generally use the slow charging port, while non-home charging users generally use the fast charging port.

[0177] Optionally, after the charging reminder notification 402 is displayed on the vehicle's infotainment display screen 400, the user can close the charging reminder notification 402 by clicking the control 405 associated with the charging reminder notification 402, or by clicking a blank area on the vehicle's infotainment display screen 400, or by using a shortcut button on the steering wheel, or by using voice instructions. This application does not limit the scope of the notification.

[0178] Optionally, when the electric vehicle is a home charging user, no charging reminder will be given during the vehicle's journey if it is determined that the remaining battery power is sufficient to reach the destination. The method for determining whether an electric vehicle is a home charging user will be described in detail later.

[0179] This includes determining whether to remind the user to charge based on the electric vehicle's current remaining battery power, the user's charging habits, and the local temperature the following day. Figure 2 and Figure 3 The embodiments shown have already been described, and for the sake of brevity, they will not be repeated here.

[0180] It should be understood that the display format of the charging reminder notification 402 in this application embodiment is not limited. For example, it can be displayed in the form of a pop-up window, in full screen, or in the form of a card. It can be displayed dynamically or statically. This application does not limit this. Furthermore, the text content of the charging reminder notification 402 is not limited. It can be any notification content with charging reminder function.

[0181] Optionally, the display position of the charging reminder notification 402 on the vehicle display screen 400 is not limited. For example, it can be displayed in full screen on the vehicle display screen 400, displayed in a large window on the vehicle display screen 400, or displayed in a small window in a blank space on the vehicle display screen 400.

[0182] Optionally, the embodiments of this application are applicable to scenarios where the current remaining battery power of the electric vehicle is within the user's usual charging range (first battery power value < current remaining battery power of the electric vehicle ≤ second battery power value).

[0183] In this embodiment, during vehicle operation, the system can determine whether the user's electric vehicle needs charging based on the user's charging habits. When charging is required, a charging reminder is sent to the user. This effectively avoids anxiety caused by the electric vehicle's remaining battery level falling below the user's psychological safety threshold, thus improving the user experience. Furthermore, the system can determine whether the user's electric vehicle needs charging based on the next day's temperature, and send a charging reminder when needed. This effectively prevents the electric vehicle's remaining battery level from decreasing due to sudden temperature changes, thus avoiding situations where the user's current needs cannot be met. Additionally, during vehicle operation, the charging reminder notification is statically displayed in a small window on the vehicle's infotainment screen without voice prompts, ensuring safe driving. The notification includes recommended charging stations and displays corresponding entertainment information, allowing users to choose a more suitable charging station and further enhancing the user experience.

[0184] For example, Figure 5 This illustration shows another charging reminder interface display diagram provided in an embodiment of this application. This interface diagram can be applied, for example, to scenarios where an electric vehicle is in motion.

[0185] The embodiments of this application and Figure 4The illustrated embodiments are similar, except that the display format of the charging reminder notification 401 is different. Specifically, in this embodiment, the charging reminder notification 401 is displayed together with other service cards in the lower quarter area of ​​the vehicle's infotainment display (for example, it could be a Xiaoyi suggestion card displayed in the SMART DOCK area).

[0186] For example, Figure 6 This illustration shows another charging reminder interface display diagram provided in an embodiment of this application. This interface diagram can be applied, for example, to scenarios where an electric vehicle is in motion.

[0187] Figure 6 The illustrated embodiments and Figure 4 The differences between the embodiments shown are as follows:

[0188] (1) Figure 6 In the illustrated embodiment, when it is determined that the user needs to be reminded to charge, a charging reminder notification 601 is directly displayed on the vehicle's infotainment display screen 600. The explanation of this charging reminder notification 601 is as follows... Figure 4 The charging reminder notification 402 in the illustrated embodiment is interpreted in the same way (the functions of controls 603, 604, and 605 are the same as those of controls 403, 404, and 405, respectively).

[0189] (2) Figure 6 In the illustrated embodiment, while displaying the charging reminder notification 601, a charging reminder voice 606 is emitted. The interpretation of this charging reminder voice 606 is as follows... Figure 2 and Figure 3 The explanation for the charging reminder voice message is the same in Chinese.

[0190] Optionally, the embodiments of this application are applicable to scenarios where the current remaining battery power of the electric vehicle is less than or equal to the user's habitual charging range (the current remaining battery power of the electric vehicle ≤ a first battery power value).

[0191] In this embodiment of the application, when the remaining battery level is determined to be lower than the user's usual charging range during vehicle operation, a strong reminder will be given to the user (i.e., a pop-up charging reminder notification and a charging reminder voice message) to avoid insufficient power to reach the destination due to failure to charge in time. In addition, the charging reminder notification includes recommended charging stations and displays the corresponding entertainment information of the charging station, so that the user can choose a more suitable charging station and further improve the user experience.

[0192] For example, Figure 7 This illustration shows another charging reminder interface display diagram provided in an embodiment of this application. This interface diagram can be applied, for example, to a scenario where a user is about to drive an electric vehicle out.

[0193] Taking a user's travel destination as ×× shopping mall as an example, such as Figure 7 As shown in (a), when a user searches for ×× shopping mall in the search box 701 of the navigation page, the search results box 702 is displayed on the vehicle display screen 700.

[0194] The user can search for ×× shopping mall by clicking the search control, by voice instructions, or by other search methods. This application does not limit the scope of the search.

[0195] Search results box 702 includes search results 703, 704, and 705.

[0196] Optionally, if there is a charging station at the address corresponding to the search result displayed in the search result box 602, then the search result will indicate that there is a charging station at that address.

[0197] Optionally, when it is determined that the electric vehicle can be charged at the destination based on the remaining battery power and / or the user's charging habits and / or the temperature, the search results box 702 also includes a prompt box 706, which is used to prompt the user that there is a charging station within a certain range near the destination and suggests that the user charge at the destination.

[0198] Among them, it is determined that the electric vehicle can be charged when it reaches the destination based on the remaining battery power. For example, it can be predicted that when it reaches the destination, the remaining battery power is within the user's usual charging range, or lower than the user's usual charging range, or higher than the user's usual charging range by a certain range. This certain range can be, for example, 0-10km, 0-50km, or other ranges. This application does not limit this.

[0199] The prompt box 706 is associated with controls 707, 708, and 709. Users can click control 707 to view a list of charging stations near their destination, click control 708 to open a map for a more intuitive view of the specific locations of charging stations, and click control 709 to close the prompt.

[0200] When the user triggers the function to view the list of charging stations near the destination (e.g., by clicking control 707), the vehicle's display screen 700 will show the following: Figure 7 The interface shown in (b) is composed of Figure 7 As shown in (b), the vehicle's display screen 700 shows a charging station list box 710, which displays a list of charging stations near the destination. This list includes charging stations 711 and 712, and each charging station corresponds to a navigation control (e.g., ...). Figure 7(See "Go here" in (b)).

[0201] Optionally, the charging stations in the charging station list can be recommended charging stations selected by the system from a list of charging stations near the destination. These recommended charging stations can be determined by the system in combination with the surrounding shopping malls, restaurants, etc., or they can be the user's frequently used charging stations, or they can be recommended based on the user's charging preferences.

[0202] The user's charging preferences may include the user's preferred charging time range, the user's preferred charging price range, and may also include other user charging preferences, which are not limited in this application.

[0203] Optionally, the charging station list box 710 is also associated with controls 713 and 714. If the charging stations in the currently displayed charging station list do not meet the user's needs, the user can click control 713 to view more charging station details; in addition, if the user does not wish to charge at their destination, the user can also click control 714 to close the current charging reminder interface.

[0204] It should be understood that the embodiments in this application are merely illustrative. The functions corresponding to the above-mentioned controls 707, 708, 709, 713 and 714 are not limited to being triggered by controls. They can also be triggered by voice, by specific buttons on the steering wheel, or by other triggering methods. This application does not limit these methods.

[0205] It should be understood that the embodiments in this application are merely illustrative examples. Any scheme that determines whether to remind the user to charge based on the availability of charging stations near the destination, the vehicle's remaining battery power, the user's charging habits, or the temperature when navigating to a destination, and that provides a reminder when it is determined that a reminder should be given, is within the scope of the embodiments disclosed in this application.

[0206] In this embodiment, when the system detects that a user is navigating to a destination and is likely to stay there for an extended period, the vehicle's infotainment system will determine whether to prompt the user to charge near the destination, taking into account the vehicle's remaining battery power and / or the user's charging habits. If charging near the destination is recommended, a charging reminder notification will be sent to the user, along with a list of recommended charging stations nearby, allowing the user to navigate directly to the target charging station. This allows the user to charge conveniently during their stay at the destination, ensuring their travel plans are not disrupted and that the vehicle has sufficient battery power, eliminating the need for a dedicated charging station and further enhancing the user experience.

[0207] For example, Figure 8This illustration shows another charging reminder interface display diagram provided in an embodiment of this application. This interface diagram can be applied, for example, to a scenario where a user is about to drive an electric vehicle out.

[0208] Taking a user's travel destination as a scenic spot as an example, such as Figure 8 As shown, when a user searches for a scenic spot in the search box 801 on the navigation page, the search results box 802 is displayed on the vehicle's infotainment display screen 800.

[0209] The user can search for a scenic spot by clicking a search control, by voice instructions, or by other search methods. This application does not limit the scope of the search.

[0210] Search results box 802 includes search results 803 and search results 804.

[0211] Optionally, if there is a charging station at the address corresponding to the search result displayed in the search result box 802, then the search result will indicate that there is a charging station at that address.

[0212] Optionally, when it is determined, based on the remaining battery power of the electric vehicle and / or the user's charging habits, that the current battery power is insufficient to reach the destination, or that the remaining battery power upon arrival at the destination is below the user's usual charging range, the search results box 802 further includes a prompt box 805. This prompt box 805 is used to suggest that the user charge midway, and also displays the system's recommended midway charging stations (e.g., [list of charging stations]). Figure 8 The recommended charging station 805 corresponds to a navigation control 807. Users can access the navigation page to the recommended charging station by clicking the navigation control 807. In addition, users can also click the control 808 to schedule a reminder service (e.g., remind when the user is 2km away from the recommended charging station). Users can also click the control 809 to close the prompt box 805.

[0213] It should be understood that the embodiments in this application are merely illustrative. The functions corresponding to the above-mentioned controls 803, 804, 807, 808 and 809 are not limited to being triggered by controls. They can also be triggered by voice, by specific buttons on the steering wheel, or by other triggering methods. This application does not limit these methods.

[0214] It should be understood that the embodiments in this application are merely illustrative examples. Any scheme that determines whether to remind the user to charge midway based on the estimated driving mileage, the current remaining battery power, and / or the user's charging habits when navigating to the destination, and provides a reminder when it is determined that it is necessary, is within the scope of the disclosure in the embodiments of this application.

[0215] In this embodiment, when the system detects that a user is navigating to a destination and determines that the vehicle needs to be charged en route based on the estimated mileage, remaining battery power, and / or the user's charging habits, a mid-route charging reminder notification is sent to the user. The system also displays recommended charging stations along the way, allowing the user to navigate directly to the target charging station or receive a reminder when they are about to arrive at the station. This allows users to plan their journey in detail before departure, avoiding inconvenience caused by unexpected charging needs and further enhancing the user experience.

[0216] For example, Figure 9 This illustration shows another charging reminder interface provided in an embodiment of this application. This interface illustration is applicable, for example, to a scenario where a user is about to drive an electric vehicle out.

[0217] Taking a user's travel destination as a scenic spot as an example, such as Figure 9 As shown, when a user searches for a scenic spot in the search box 901 on the navigation page, the search results box 902 is displayed on the vehicle's infotainment display screen 900.

[0218] The user can search for a scenic spot by clicking a search control, by voice instructions, or by other search methods. This application does not limit the scope of the search.

[0219] Search results box 902 includes search results 903 and 904.

[0220] Optionally, if there is a charging station at the address corresponding to the search result displayed in the search result box 902, then the search result will indicate that there is a charging station at that address.

[0221] Optionally, when it is determined, based on the remaining battery power of the electric vehicle, the temperature, and / or the user's charging habits, that the current battery power is insufficient to reach the destination, or that the remaining battery power upon arrival at the destination is below the user's usual charging range, the search results box 902 further includes a prompt box 905. This prompt box 905 is used to suggest that the user charge midway, and also displays the system's recommended midway charging stations (e.g., [list of charging stations]). Figure 9 The recommended charging station 905 corresponds to a navigation control 907. Users can access the navigation page to the recommended charging station by clicking the navigation control 907. In addition, users can also click the control 908 to schedule a reminder service (e.g., to remind the user when they are 2km away from the recommended charging station). Users can also click the control 909 to close the prompt box 905.

[0222] It should be understood that the embodiments in this application are merely illustrative. The functions corresponding to the above-mentioned controls 903, 904, 907, 908 and 909 are not limited to being triggered by controls. They can also be triggered by voice, by specific buttons on the steering wheel, or by other triggering methods. This application does not limit these methods.

[0223] It should be understood that the embodiments in this application are merely illustrative examples. Any scheme that determines whether to remind the user to charge midway based on the estimated driving distance, temperature, current remaining battery power and / or the user's charging habits when navigating to the destination, and provides a reminder when it is determined that it is necessary, is within the scope of the disclosure in the embodiments of this application.

[0224] In this embodiment, when the system detects that a user is navigating to a destination and determines that the vehicle needs to be charged en route based on the estimated mileage, remaining battery power, temperature, and / or the user's charging habits, a mid-route charging reminder notification is sent to the user. The system also displays recommended charging stations along the way, allowing the user to navigate directly to the target charging station or receive a reminder when they are about to arrive at the station. This allows users to plan their journey in detail before departure, avoiding inconvenience caused by unexpected charging needs and further enhancing the user experience.

[0225] For example, Figure 10 This illustration shows another charging reminder interface display diagram provided in an embodiment of this application. This interface diagram is applicable to scenarios where a user is about to drive an electric vehicle out.

[0226] The embodiments of this application and Figure 8 and Figure 9 The embodiments shown are similar, the difference being:

[0227] Figure 8 and Figure 9 In the illustrated embodiment, if a charging station is detected along the navigation route, the recommended charging station will be displayed in the charging reminder notification. However, in this embodiment, if no charging station is detected along the navigation route, and it is determined based on the remaining battery power, the user's charging habits, and / or the temperature that the current battery power is insufficient to reach the destination, or if the remaining battery power upon arrival at the destination is lower than the user's usual charging range, a charging reminder notification 1001 will be issued before the user departs, and the user will be informed that there are no charging stations along the route, and the user is advised to charge before departure.

[0228] In this embodiment, before departure, if the system determines, based on the current remaining battery power, the user's charging habits, and / or temperature, that the current battery power is insufficient to reach the destination, or that the remaining battery power upon arrival at the destination is below the user's usual charging range, a charging reminder notification is sent to the user. This avoids travel plans failing due to insufficient battery power and the lack of available charging stations mid-journey, and effectively alleviates the user's charging anxiety caused by battery power falling below their usual charging range.

[0229] For example, Figure 11 This illustration shows another charging reminder interface provided in an embodiment of this application.

[0230] In one example, when a charging reminder notification is displayed on the vehicle's infotainment system screen, the charging reminder notification is simultaneously displayed on electronic devices (e.g., mobile phones, tablets, smart bands, watches, etc.) that are linked to the vehicle's infotainment system.

[0231] In one example, when the electric vehicle is not in use and the user is not in the vehicle, if the remaining battery level of the vehicle is detected to be within the user's usual charging range, or if the remaining battery level of the vehicle is detected to be lower than or equal to the user's usual charging range, or if the local temperature for the next day is detected to be lower than a first threshold or higher than a second threshold and the current remaining battery level is lower than a third battery level, a charging reminder notification will be displayed synchronously on an electronic device that is bound to the vehicle system.

[0232] Among them, the charging reminder notification displayed synchronously on electronic devices that are bound to the vehicle's infotainment system can be as follows: Figure 11 The charging reminder notification 1101 shown can also be other forms of reminder notifications, for a detailed explanation in [link to documentation]. Figures 2 to 10 The embodiments shown are explained in detail, and for the sake of brevity, they will not be repeated here.

[0233] Optionally, the synchronously displayed charging reminder notification can be in the form of a service card. When the user clicks on the notification, the display screen of the electronic device 1100 shows the charging reminder control interface. This interface is associated with one or more controls, such as: navigation controls, close controls, view charging stations controls, view vehicle remaining battery controls, etc. This application does not limit this.

[0234] Optionally, the electronic device that is bound to the vehicle system can also be a screenless electronic device, such as a Xiao Ai speaker (which can issue charging reminders via voice), a projection device, etc. This application does not limit this.

[0235] In this embodiment, when a charging reminder notification is displayed on the vehicle's infotainment screen, the user's associated electronic device displays the notification simultaneously, enabling the user to be aware of the charging reminder notification in a timely manner. Furthermore, when the user is not in the vehicle (e.g., the vehicle is parked for a long time and not in use), when charging is detected, the user's associated electronic device will remind the user that charging is required, which can avoid inconvenience caused by insufficient battery power when the vehicle is in use and further improve the user experience.

[0236] The following, combined with Figures 12 to 20 The charging reminder method provided in the embodiments of this application will be described.

[0237] For example, Figure 12 A schematic flowchart of a charging reminder method 1200 provided in an embodiment of this application is shown. Figure 12 As shown, the method 1200 includes:

[0238] S1201: Determine the user's habitual charging capacity range (first capacity value, second capacity value) based on the user's charging behavior.

[0239] The first power value is the minimum power value within the user's usual charging power range, and the second power value is the maximum power value within the user's usual charging power range. The first power value is less than or equal to the second power value.

[0240] Optionally, the user's charging behavior includes the vehicle's remaining battery power corresponding to the user's charging behavior within a certain continuous period of time, and may also include the user's charging time, charging price, or charging location within that continuous period of time.

[0241] The specific process of determining a user's habitual charging range based on their charging behavior will be described below.

[0242] S1202: Determine whether the vehicle's current remaining battery power is less than or equal to the second battery power value. If it is determined that the current remaining battery power is less than or equal to the second battery power value, execute S1203.

[0243] S1203: Sends a charging reminder notification to the user.

[0244] Sending a charging reminder notification to the user can be one or more of the following methods:

[0245] Display charging reminders on the vehicle's infotainment screen;

[0246] Display charging reminders on the screens of electronic devices that are linked to the vehicle's infotainment system;

[0247] The system can issue a charging reminder voice message through the vehicle's infotainment system or an electronic device that is linked to the vehicle's infotainment system.

[0248] Optionally, when an electric vehicle is detected to be in Park (P) gear, the electric vehicle is determined to be in a parked state.

[0249] Different users have different psychological safety thresholds for the remaining battery power of electric vehicles. In this embodiment, it is possible to determine whether the electric vehicle driven by the user needs to be charged based on the user's charging habits, and to remind the user to charge when it is determined that the electric vehicle needs to be charged. In this way, it can effectively avoid the anxiety caused by the remaining battery power of the electric vehicle falling below its psychological safety threshold, thereby improving the user experience.

[0250] For example, in Figure 12 Based on the illustrated embodiment, Figure 13 A schematic flowchart of another charging reminder method 1300 provided in an embodiment of this application is shown. Figure 13 As shown, the method 1300 includes:

[0251] S1301: Determine the user's habitual charging capacity range (first capacity value, second capacity value) based on the user's charging behavior.

[0252] The explanations regarding the first and second battery levels are as follows: Figure 12 The embodiments shown have been explained in detail, and for the sake of brevity, they will not be repeated here.

[0253] S1302: Determine whether the electric vehicle is a home charging user. If yes, proceed to step S1303; otherwise, proceed to step S1304.

[0254] The specific process for determining whether an electric vehicle is a home charging user will be described in detail in subsequent embodiments.

[0255] S1303: If the vehicle's status is detected to be switched to parked (e.g., when the user is in P gear), and the distance between the vehicle and the home address is less than the third threshold, then determine the vehicle's current remaining battery power and continue to execute step S1305.

[0256] The third threshold can be any value within the range of 0 to 300m, or it can be other values ​​determined by user input. This application does not limit this value.

[0257] S1304: Determine the current remaining battery power of the electric vehicle periodically or periodically, and then proceed to step S1306.

[0258] Periodic determination can be performed at regular intervals; timed determination can be performed at one or more fixed time points each day.

[0259] S1305 (S1306): Determine whether the current remaining battery level is less than or equal to the second battery level value. If so, send a charging reminder notification to the user.

[0260] Charging reminder notifications come in various forms, specifically in... Figures 2 to 11 The embodiments shown are described in detail, and for the sake of brevity, they will not be repeated here.

[0261] In this embodiment, based on determining whether to remind the user to charge according to their charging habits, different reminder rules (reminder triggering conditions) are set for both home charging users and non-home charging users, taking into account whether the electric vehicle is a home charging user. This ensures that the timing of charging reminders matches the user's habits, thereby further improving the user experience.

[0262] Figure 14 The diagram illustrates the relationship between the discharge capacity and voltage of a lithium-ion battery at different temperatures, as provided in the embodiments of this application. Figure 14 As shown, the curves depicting the relationship between the discharge capacity and voltage of lithium-ion batteries at temperatures of -20℃, -10℃, 0℃, 23℃, and 45℃ are presented. Figure 14 It is evident that temperature has a significant impact on battery capacity. For example, the driving range of the same model of electric vehicle varies considerably under different temperatures. The effect of temperature on battery capacity is particularly pronounced at excessively low or high temperatures.

[0263] Based on this, exemplarily, Figure 15 A schematic flowchart of another charging reminder method 1500 provided in an embodiment of this application is shown. Figure 15 As shown, the method 1500 includes:

[0264] S1501: Determine the third electrical charge value for an electric vehicle.

[0265] It should be noted that in this embodiment of the application, the electric vehicle's battery level represents the electric vehicle's driving range (km).

[0266] Optionally, the third battery capacity of the electric vehicle can be 200km.

[0267] Optionally, the third battery level of the electric vehicle can be determined based on the user's habitual charging range (first battery level, second battery level), for example, it can be the second battery level + 50km.

[0268] S1502: Determine the temperature value for the next day.

[0269] Optionally, if the vehicle is not traveling long distances (e.g., the vehicle is parked in a garage), the temperature value for the next day refers to the local temperature value for the next day; if the vehicle is traveling long distances, the temperature value for the next day may refer to the temperature value of the area where the vehicle is expected to arrive on the next day.

[0270] S1503: Determine whether the temperature value of the next day is less than the first threshold or greater than the second threshold. If so, proceed to step S1504.

[0271] The range below the first threshold is designated as the extremely cold range, and the range above the second threshold is designated as the extremely hot range. The extremely cold or extremely hot ranges may differ in different regions, and their determination is related to the battery model. For example, an extremely cold range could be a temperature below -10℃ (i.e., the first threshold could be -10℃), and an extremely hot range could be a temperature above 40℃ (i.e., the first threshold could be 40℃).

[0272] S1504: Determine whether the current remaining battery power of the electric vehicle is less than or equal to the third battery power value. If so, proceed to step S1305.

[0273] S1505: Sends a charging reminder notification to the user.

[0274] Sending a charging reminder notification to the user can be one or more of the following methods:

[0275] Display charging reminders on the vehicle's infotainment screen;

[0276] Display charging reminders on the screens of electronic devices that are linked to the vehicle's infotainment system;

[0277] The system can issue a charging reminder voice message through the vehicle's infotainment system or an electronic device that is linked to the vehicle's infotainment system.

[0278] Temperature has a significant impact on the driving range of electric vehicle batteries. In this embodiment, it is possible to determine whether the electric vehicle driven by the user needs to be charged in advance based on the temperature of the following day. When it is determined that the electric vehicle needs to be charged, a charging reminder is sent to the user. This effectively avoids the reduction of the remaining battery power of the electric vehicle due to sudden temperature changes, which could prevent it from meeting the user's current needs and thus improve the user experience.

[0279] For example, Figure 16 A schematic flowchart of another charging reminder method 1600 provided in an embodiment of this application is shown. Figure 16 As shown, the method 1600 includes:

[0280] S1601: Determine the third power level.

[0281] The explanation of the third electricity value is as follows: Figure 15 The embodiments shown have been explained in detail, and for the sake of brevity, they will not be repeated here.

[0282] S1602: Determine whether the electric vehicle is a home charging user. If yes, proceed to step S1603; otherwise, proceed to step S1604.

[0283] The specific process for determining whether an electric vehicle is a home charging user will be described in detail in subsequent embodiments.

[0284] S1603: If the vehicle's status is detected to be switched to parked (e.g., when the user is in P gear), and the distance between the vehicle and the home address is less than the third threshold, then determine the vehicle's current remaining battery power and continue to execute step S1605.

[0285] The third threshold can be any value within the range of 0 to 300m, or it can be other values ​​determined by user input. This application does not limit this value.

[0286] S1604: Periodically determine the current remaining battery power and the temperature value for the next day, or, within a specific time period, determine the current remaining battery power and the temperature value for the next day when a user gets into the vehicle. Proceed to step S1607.

[0287] The specific time period can be, for example, after 4 p.m. every day, between 8 a.m. and 12 p.m. every day, or other specific time periods determined by user input, or a time period set by the system default or automatically. This application does not limit this.

[0288] Among them, determining the temperature value at a fixed time means determining the temperature value at one or more fixed time points. For example, the temperature value can be determined at 4 pm every day, or at 10 am and 7 pm every day. The fixed time point can also be other time points determined according to user input, or a certain time point set by the system default or automatically. This application does not limit this.

[0289] S1605: Determine whether the local temperature value for the next day is less than the first threshold or greater than the second threshold. If so, proceed to step S1606.

[0290] The explanation of the first and second thresholds is in Figure 15 The embodiments shown have been described in detail, and for the sake of brevity, they will not be repeated here.

[0291] S1606: Determine whether the current remaining battery power of the electric vehicle is less than or equal to the third battery power value. If so, send a charging reminder notification to the user.

[0292] S1607: Determine whether the local temperature value for the next day is less than the first threshold or greater than the second threshold. If so, proceed to step S1608.

[0293] S1608: Determine whether the current remaining battery power of the electric vehicle is less than or equal to the third battery power value. If so, send a charging reminder notification to the user.

[0294] Charging reminder notifications come in various forms, specifically in... Figures 2 to 11 The embodiments shown are described in detail, and for the sake of brevity, they will not be repeated here.

[0295] In this embodiment, based on determining whether to send a charging reminder to the user according to the next day's temperature, different reminder rules (reminder triggering conditions) are set for both home charging users and non-home charging users, taking into account whether the electric vehicle is a home charging user. This allows the timing of charging reminders to match the user's habits, thereby further improving the user experience.

[0296] For example, Figure 17 A schematic flowchart of another charging reminder method 1700 provided in an embodiment of this application is shown. Figure 17 As shown, the method 1700 includes:

[0297] S1701: Determine the user's habitual charging capacity range (first capacity value, second capacity value) based on the user's charging behavior.

[0298] The explanations regarding the first and second battery levels are as follows: Figure 13 The embodiments shown have been explained in detail, and for the sake of brevity, they will not be repeated here.

[0299] S1702: Determine whether the current remaining battery level of the electric vehicle is less than or equal to the second battery level. If yes, send a charging reminder notification to the user; otherwise, continue to step S1703.

[0300] S1703: Determine whether the current remaining battery power of the electric vehicle is less than or equal to the third battery power value. If yes, proceed to step S1704.

[0301] The explanation of the third electricity value is as follows: Figure 15 The embodiments shown have been explained in detail, and for the sake of brevity, they will not be repeated here.

[0302] S1704: Determine the temperature for the next day.

[0303] S1705: Determine whether the temperature on the second day is lower than the first threshold or higher than the second threshold. If so, send a charging reminder notification to the user.

[0304] The explanation of the first and second thresholds is in Figure 15 The embodiments shown have been explained in detail, and for the sake of brevity, they will not be repeated here.

[0305] Regarding the method of sending charging reminder notifications, Figures 2 to 11 The embodiments shown have been described in detail, and for the sake of brevity, they will not be repeated here.

[0306] In this embodiment, the system can comprehensively determine whether to remind the user to charge the vehicle based on the user's charging habits and the temperature of the following day, and send a charging reminder notification to the user when it is determined that a reminder is needed. This not only effectively avoids user anxiety caused by the remaining battery level of the electric vehicle falling below their psychological safety threshold, but also effectively prevents the remaining battery level from decreasing due to sudden temperature changes, thus avoiding the inability to meet the user's current usage needs and further improving the user experience.

[0307] For example, in Figure 12 Based on the embodiment shown in 13, Figure 18 A schematic flowchart of another charging reminder method 1800 provided in an embodiment of this application is shown. Figure 18 As shown, the method 1800 includes:

[0308] S1801: Determine the user's habitual charging capacity range (first capacity value, second capacity value) based on the user's charging behavior.

[0309] The explanations regarding the first and second battery levels are as follows: Figure 12 The embodiments shown have been explained in detail, and for the sake of brevity, they will not be repeated here.

[0310] S1802: Determine whether the electric vehicle is a home charging user. If yes, proceed to step S1803; otherwise, proceed to step S1804.

[0311] The specific process for determining whether an electric vehicle is a home charging user will be described in detail in subsequent embodiments.

[0312] S1803: If the vehicle's status is detected to be switched to parked (e.g., when the user is in P gear), and the distance between the vehicle and the home address is less than the third threshold, then determine the vehicle's current remaining battery power and continue to execute step S1805.

[0313] The third threshold can be any value within the range of 0 to 300m, or it can be other values ​​determined by user input. This application does not limit this value.

[0314] S1804: Determine whether the electric vehicle is in motion. If yes, proceed to step S1806; otherwise, proceed to step S1807.

[0315] S1805: Determine whether the current remaining battery power of the electric vehicle is less than or equal to the second battery power value. If so, issue a first charging reminder notification to the user.

[0316] The first charging reminder notification (which can be considered a strong reminder) includes a charging reminder notification displayed in a large window or in full screen on the electric vehicle's display screen, and also includes a charging reminder voice. The first charging reminder notification is associated with a control that performs the action of "opening the charging port".

[0317] S1806: Periodically determine the current remaining battery power of the electric vehicle and continue to step S1808.

[0318] The periodic determination can be performed at regular intervals.

[0319] S1807: Determine the current remaining battery power of the electric vehicle at regular intervals, and continue to execute step S1810.

[0320] The periodic determination can be made at one or more fixed time points each day.

[0321] S1808: Determine whether the current remaining battery power of the electric vehicle is less than or equal to the second battery power value and greater than the first battery power value. If yes, send a second charging reminder notification to the user; if not, proceed to step S1809.

[0322] The second charging reminder notification (which can be considered a weak reminder) includes a charging reminder notification that is statically displayed (e.g., in the form of a flashing icon or a folded card) in a blank space on the electric vehicle display screen.

[0323] S1809: Determine whether the current remaining battery power of the electric vehicle is less than or equal to the first battery power value. If so, send a third charging reminder notification to the user.

[0324] The third charging reminder notification (which can be considered a strong reminder) includes a charging reminder notification displayed in a large window or in full screen on the electric vehicle's display screen, as well as a charging reminder voice. The third charging reminder notification is associated with a control related to "navigating to the target charging station".

[0325] S1810: Determine whether the current remaining battery power of the electric vehicle is less than or equal to the second battery power value. If so, issue a fourth charging reminder notification to the user.

[0326] The fourth charging reminder notification includes a charging reminder notification displayed on an electronic device that is bound to the vehicle's infotainment system. This fourth charging reminder notification may be displayed in the form of a card, or it may be a card with voice or vibration prompts, etc. This application does not limit this.

[0327] Optionally, when it is determined that the vehicle is a home charging user, steps S1807 and S1810 can also be performed.

[0328] In this embodiment, based on determining whether to remind the user to charge according to their charging habits, the form of the charging reminder varies depending on whether the electric vehicle is a home charging user and its status (driving, parked, not started). For example, a strong reminder is given when the vehicle is parked at home, while a weak reminder is given when the vehicle is in motion, considering driving safety. This not only ensures timely reminders when needed but also adapts the reminder method to the user's current state, thereby further improving the user experience.

[0329] For example, in Figure 15 or Figure 16 Based on the illustrated embodiment, Figure 19 A schematic flowchart of another charging reminder method 1900 provided in an embodiment of this application is shown. Figure 19 As shown, the method 1900 includes:

[0330] S1901: Determine the third power value.

[0331] The explanation of the third electricity value is as follows: Figure 15 The embodiments shown have been explained in detail, and for the sake of brevity, they will not be repeated here.

[0332] S1902: Determine whether the electric vehicle is a home charging user. If yes, proceed to step S1903; otherwise, proceed to steps S1904 and / or S1905.

[0333] The specific process for determining whether an electric vehicle is a home charging user will be described in detail in subsequent embodiments.

[0334] S1903: If the vehicle's status is detected to be switched to parked (e.g., when the user is in P gear), and the distance between the vehicle and the home address is less than the third threshold, then determine the vehicle's current remaining battery power and continue to execute step S1906.

[0335] The third threshold can be any value within the range of 0 to 300m, or it can be other values ​​determined by user input. This application does not limit this value.

[0336] S1904: Within a specific time period, was a user detected boarding the vehicle? If yes, proceed to step S1908.

[0337] The specific time period can be, for example, after 4 p.m. every day, between 8 a.m. and 12 p.m. every day, or other specific time periods determined by user input, or a time period set by the system default or automatically. This application does not limit this.

[0338] Optionally, step S1904 can be replaced by: the vehicle is in motion, and step S1908 is executed periodically.

[0339] S1905: Periodically determine the current battery level of the electric vehicle and the temperature value for the next day, and continue to execute step S1911.

[0340] Among them, determining the temperature value at a fixed time means determining the temperature value at one or more fixed time points. For example, the temperature value can be determined at 4 pm every day, or at 10 am and 7 pm every day. The fixed time point can also be other time points determined according to user input, or a certain time point set by the system default or automatically. This application does not limit this.

[0341] S1906: Determine whether the local temperature value for the next day is less than the first threshold or greater than the second threshold. If so, proceed to step S1907.

[0342] The explanation of the first and second thresholds is in Figure 15 The embodiments shown have been described in detail, and for the sake of brevity, they will not be repeated here.

[0343] S1907: Determine whether the current remaining battery power of the electric vehicle is less than or equal to the third battery power value. If so, send a first charging reminder notification to the user.

[0344] The first charging reminder notification (which can be considered a strong reminder) includes a charging reminder notification displayed in a large window or in full screen on the electric vehicle's display screen, and also includes a charging reminder voice. The first charging reminder notification is associated with a control that performs the action of "opening the charging port".

[0345] S1908: Determine the current remaining battery power of the electric vehicle and the local temperature for the next day, then proceed to step S1910.

[0346] S1909: Determine whether the local temperature value for the next day is less than the first threshold or greater than the second threshold. If so, proceed to step S1910.

[0347] S1910: Determine whether the current remaining battery power of the electric vehicle is less than or equal to the third battery power value. If so, send a third charging reminder notification to the user.

[0348] The third charging reminder notification (which can be considered a strong reminder) includes a charging reminder notification displayed in a large window or in full screen on the electric vehicle's display screen, as well as a charging reminder voice. The third charging reminder notification is associated with a control related to "navigating to the target charging station".

[0349] S1911: Determine whether the local temperature value for the next day is less than the first threshold or greater than the second threshold. If so, proceed to step S1612.

[0350] S1912: Determine whether the current remaining battery power of the electric vehicle is less than or equal to the third battery power value. If so, send a fourth charging reminder notification to the user.

[0351] The fourth charging reminder notification includes a charging reminder notification displayed on an electronic device that is bound to the vehicle's infotainment system. This fourth charging reminder notification may be displayed in the form of a card, or it may be a card with voice or vibration prompts, etc. This application does not limit this.

[0352] Optionally, the electronic devices that are linked to the vehicle's infotainment system can be mobile phones, tablets, smart bands, watches, or screenless electronic devices such as Xiao Ai speakers or projectors.

[0353] Optionally, when it is determined that the vehicle is a home charging user, steps S1905, S1911 and S1912 can also be executed.

[0354] In this embodiment, based on determining whether to remind the user to charge according to the next day's temperature, the form of the charging reminder varies depending on whether the electric vehicle is a home charger and its status (driving, parked, not started). This not only ensures timely reminders when needed but also adapts the reminder method to the user's current state, further enhancing the user experience.

[0355] For example, in Figures 12 to 19 Based on the illustrated embodiment, Figure 20 A schematic flowchart of another charging reminder method 2000 provided in an embodiment of this application is shown. Figure 20 As shown, the method 2000 includes:

[0356] S2001: Determine the user's habitual charging capacity range (first capacity value, second capacity value) based on the user's charging behavior.

[0358] S2002: Determine the third power value.

[0359] The explanation of the third electricity value is as follows: Figure 15 The embodiments shown have been explained in detail, and for the sake of brevity, they will not be repeated here.

[0360] S2003: Determine whether the electric vehicle is a home charging user. If yes, proceed to step S2004; otherwise, proceed to steps S2005 and / or S2006.

[0361] S2004: If the vehicle's status is detected to be switched to parked (e.g., when the user is in P gear), and the distance between the vehicle and the home address is less than the third threshold, then determine the vehicle's current remaining battery power and the local temperature value for the next day, and continue to execute step S2007.

[0362] The third threshold can be any value within the range of 0 to 300m, or it can be other values ​​determined by user input. This application does not limit this value.

[0363] S2005: Within a specific time period, was a user detected boarding the vehicle? If yes, proceed to step S2010.

[0364] The specific time period can be, for example, after 4 p.m. every day, between 8 a.m. and 12 p.m. every day, or other specific time periods determined by user input, or a time period set by the system default or automatically. This application does not limit this.

[0365] Optionally, step S2005 can be replaced by: when the vehicle is in motion, step S2010 is executed periodically.

[0366] S2006: Periodically determine the current battery level of the electric vehicle and the temperature value for the next day, and continue to execute step S2015.

[0367] Among them, determining the temperature value at a fixed time means determining the temperature value at one or more fixed time points. For example, the temperature value can be determined at 4 pm every day, or at 10 am and 7 pm every day. The fixed time point can also be other time points determined according to user input, or a certain time point set by the system default or automatically. This application does not limit this.

[0368] S2007: Determine whether the local temperature value for the next day is less than the first threshold or greater than the second threshold. If yes, proceed to step S2008; otherwise, proceed to step S2009.

[0369] The explanation of the first and second thresholds is in Figure 13 The embodiments shown have been described in detail, and for the sake of brevity, they will not be repeated here.

[0370] S2008: Determine whether the current remaining battery power of the electric vehicle is less than or equal to the third battery power value. If so, send a first charging reminder notification to the user.

[0371] S2009: Determine whether the current remaining battery power of the electric vehicle is less than or equal to the second battery power value. If so, issue a first charging reminder notification to the user.

[0372] The first charging reminder notification (which can be considered a strong reminder) includes a charging reminder notification displayed in a large window or in full screen on the electric vehicle's display screen, and also includes a charging reminder voice. The first charging reminder notification is associated with a control that performs the action of "opening the charging port".

[0373] Optionally, when it is determined in step S2008 that a charging reminder is needed and a first charging reminder notification is issued, the first charging reminder notification includes content reminding the user that "the temperature will be low the next day, and charging is necessary" (e.g., Figure 3 (as shown); When it is determined in step S2009 that a charging reminder is needed and a first charging reminder notification is issued, the first charging reminder notification includes relevant content reminding the user that "charging is needed based on the user's charging habits" (e.g., Figure 2 (As shown).

[0374] S2010: Determine the current remaining battery power of the electric vehicle and the local temperature for the next day, then proceed to step S2011.

[0375] S2011: Determine whether the local temperature value for the next day is less than the first threshold or greater than the second threshold. If yes, proceed to step S2012; otherwise, proceed to step S2013.

[0376] S2012: Determine whether the current remaining battery power of the electric vehicle is less than or equal to the third battery power value. If so, send a third charging reminder notification to the user.

[0377] The third charging reminder notification (which can be considered a strong reminder) includes a charging reminder notification displayed in a large window or in full screen on the electric vehicle's display screen, as well as a charging reminder voice. The third charging reminder notification is associated with a control related to "navigating to the target charging station".

[0378] S2013: Determine whether the current remaining battery power of the electric vehicle is less than or equal to the second battery power value and greater than the first battery power value. If yes, issue a second charging reminder notification to the user; if not, continue to step S2014.

[0379] The second charging reminder notification (which can be considered a weak reminder) includes a charging reminder notification that is statically displayed (e.g., in the form of a flashing icon or a suggestion card) in a blank space on the electric vehicle's display screen. Figure 4 (a) or Figure 5 (as shown in (a)).

[0380] S2014: Determine whether the current remaining battery power of the electric vehicle is less than or equal to the first battery power value. If so, issue a third charging reminder notification to the user.

[0381] Optionally, when it is determined in step S2012 that a charging reminder is needed and a third charging reminder notification is issued, the third charging reminder notification includes content reminding the user that "the temperature will be low the next day, and charging is necessary" (e.g., Figure 3 (as shown); When it is determined in step S2014 that a charging reminder is needed and a third charging reminder notification is issued, the third charging reminder notification includes relevant content reminding the user that "charging is needed based on the user's charging habits" (e.g., Figure 2 (As shown).

[0382] S2015: Determine whether the local temperature value for the next day is less than the first threshold or greater than the second threshold. If yes, proceed to step S2016; otherwise, proceed to step S2017.

[0383] The explanation of the first and second thresholds is in Figure 15 The embodiments shown have been described in detail, and for the sake of brevity, they will not be repeated here.

[0384] S2016: Determine whether the current remaining battery power of the electric vehicle is less than or equal to the third battery power value. If so, send a fourth charging reminder notification to the user.

[0385] The fourth charging reminder notification includes a charging reminder notification displayed on an electronic device that is bound to the vehicle's infotainment system. This fourth charging reminder notification may be displayed in the form of a card, or it may be a card with voice or vibration prompts, etc. This application does not limit this.

[0386] Optionally, when it is determined in step S2016 that a charging reminder is needed and a fourth charging reminder notification is issued, the fourth charging reminder notification includes content reminding the user that "the temperature will be low the next day, and charging is necessary" (e.g., Figure 3 (as shown); When it is determined in step S2017 that a charging reminder is needed and a fourth charging reminder notification is issued, the fourth charging reminder notification includes relevant content reminding the user that "charging is needed based on the user's charging habits" (e.g., Figure 2 (As shown).

[0387] S2017: Determine whether the current remaining battery power of the electric vehicle is less than or equal to the second battery power value. If so, issue a fourth charging reminder notification to the user.

[0388] Optionally, when it is determined that the user is a home charging user, steps S2006, S2015 to S2017 can also be executed.

[0389] Optionally, while sending the first, second, third, and fourth charging reminder notifications to the user, ambient light reminders (in-vehicle ambient lights, exterior ambient lights, projection lights, pixel lights, etc.), seat vibration reminders, fragrance system reminders, and wristband reminders can also be combined, but this application does not limit this.

[0390] Optionally, whether a user is a home charging user can be determined through user profile recognition.

[0391] In this embodiment, it is possible to determine whether to remind the user to charge based on the user's charging habits and the temperature of the following day. Furthermore, considering whether the electric vehicle is a home charger and its status (driving, parked, not started), the form of the charging reminder varies depending on the situation. This not only ensures timely reminders when needed but also adapts the reminder method to the user's current state, thereby further enhancing the user experience.

[0392] To better understand the process of determining temperature in the embodiments of this application, exemplarily, Figure 21 A schematic flowchart of a method 2100 for determining air temperature provided in an embodiment of this application is shown. Figure 21 As shown, the method 2100 includes:

[0393] S2101: The vehicle's decision center sends a weather data query request to the environmental perception unit.

[0394] The weather data includes data related to the weather forecast for the following day.

[0395] S2102: The environmental sensing unit forwards the weather data query request to the weather app.

[0396] S2103: In response to the received weather data query request, the weather APP sends weather data to the environmental sensing unit.

[0397] Optionally, the weather app returns weather data for the past 7 days; this weather data may include current temperature, daytime high temperature, daytime low temperature, nighttime high temperature, and nighttime low temperature.

[0398] S2104: After receiving the weather data, the environmental sensing unit forwards the weather data to the decision-making center.

[0399] S2105: After receiving the weather data, the decision-making center analyzes the weather data to obtain the temperature of the next day.

[0400] S2106: The decision-making center further determines whether the temperature of the next day is less than the first threshold or greater than the second threshold based on the obtained temperature of the next day.

[0401] Next, combined Figure 22 and Figure 23 This section introduces the process of determining the user's preferred charging range. Figure 22 A schematic flowchart of a method 2200 for determining a user's habitual charging capacity range, as provided in an embodiment of this application, is shown. Figure 22 As shown, the method 2200 includes:

[0402] S2201: Collect sample charging data.

[0403] The sample charging data may be the user's charging data for electric vehicles within a certain period of time (e.g., within the last 3 months); or it may be the user's charging data from multiple consecutive charging sessions; this application does not limit this.

[0404] It should be understood that the sample size of the sample charging data should be representative.

[0405] Optionally, the sample size of the controlled sample charging data is greater than or equal to 50, and then its confidence level P is calculated. When P < 0.5, the sample charging data is considered to be representative.

[0406] The sample charging data includes the vehicle's remaining battery power when the user starts charging; it may also include the user's charging location data (sample charging location data); it may also include the user's charging time data (sample charging time data); it may also include the user's charging price; and it may also include other charging data, which are not limited in this application.

[0407] S2202: Sort the sample charging data in ascending order.

[0408] S2203: Determine the user's habitual charging capacity range (first capacity value, second capacity value) based on the sample charging data arranged in ascending order.

[0409] Optionally, the sample charging data can be analyzed for normal distribution, and the first charge value can be taken as the 5th percentile and the second charge value as the 95th percentile.

[0410] Optionally, the last 5% of sample charging data are removed, and the largest 5% of sample charging data are also removed. Among the remaining sample charging data, the minimum value is taken as the first power value, and the maximum value is taken as the second power value.

[0411] S2204: Determine the width of the habitual charging capacity range based on the first and second capacity values.

[0412] Among them, the width of the habitual charging capacity range = the second capacity value - the first capacity value.

[0413] S2205: Determine whether the width of the habitual charging capacity range is greater than the fourth threshold. If yes, do not generate a charging capacity label; otherwise, generate a charging capacity label.

[0414] The charging capacity label is used to indicate the user's preferred charging capacity range.

[0415] For example, Figure 23 A schematic diagram of the functional modules of a device 2300 for determining a user's preferred charging range, provided in an embodiment of this application, is shown. Figure 23 As shown, the device 2300 includes a charging data acquisition unit 2310, a charging power tag generation unit 2320, and a decision center 2330. Wherein:

[0416] The charging data acquisition unit 2310 is used to collect sample charging data.

[0417] The explanation of the sample charging data has been explained in detail in step S2201, and will not be repeated here for the sake of brevity.

[0418] The habitual charging power label generation unit 2320 is used to generate habitual charging power labels based on sample charging data.

[0419] The process of the habitual charging power generation unit 2320 generating habitual charging power labels based on sample charging data is the same as steps S2202 to S2205, and will not be described again here for the sake of brevity.

[0420] The decision center 2330 is used to query the user's habitual charging range from the habitual charging range generation unit 2320; it is also used to receive the user's habitual charging range sent by the habitual charging range generation unit 2320.

[0421] In this embodiment of the application, the user's habitual charging range is generated based on the user's historical charging data, which can make the determined habitual charging range more authentic, and thus provide a reliable basis for determining whether to remind the user to charge based on the habitual charging range.

[0422] Next, combined Figure 24 and Figure 25 The process of determining whether a user's vehicle is a home charging user is explained. Figure 24 A schematic flowchart of a method 2400 for determining whether a user's vehicle is a home charging user, as provided in an embodiment of this application, is shown. Figure 24 As shown, the method 2400 includes:

[0423] S2401: Collect sample charging data.

[0424] The sample charging data may be the user's charging data for electric vehicles within a certain period of time (e.g., within the last 3 months); or it may be the user's charging data from multiple consecutive charging sessions; this application does not limit this.

[0425] It should be understood that the sample size of the sample charging data should be large enough to be representative.

[0426] The sample charging data includes the location data of the user's charging (sample charging location data); it may also include the remaining battery power of the vehicle when the user starts charging; it may also include the charging time data of the user (sample charging time data); it may also include the price at which the user charges; and it may also include other charging data, which are not limited in this application.

[0427] S2402: Determine the distance between the sample charging location and the home address.

[0428] In step S2401, the sample charging location data included in the sample charging data is used to indicate the user's charging location.

[0429] S2403: Determine whether the distance between the sample charging location and the home address is less than the fifth threshold. If yes, determine that the corresponding sample charging data is of the first type; otherwise, determine that the corresponding sample charging data is of the second type.

[0430] S2404: Calculate the proportion of the number of data of the first type to the total number of charging data samples. If the proportion is greater than A, the vehicle is determined to be a home charging user, and a habitual charging location tag is generated. If the proportion is less than or equal to B, the vehicle is determined to be a non-home charging user, and a habitual charging location tag is generated. If the proportion is less than or equal to A and greater than B, no habitual charging location tag is generated.

[0431] Optionally, the value of A can be 50km.

[0432] The habitual charging location label is used to indicate whether the vehicle is a home charging user or a non-home charging user.

[0433] For example, Figure 25 This illustration shows a functional module diagram of a device 2500 for determining whether a user's vehicle is a home charging user, as provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 25 As shown, the device 2500 includes a charging data acquisition unit 2510, a charging location tag generation unit 2520, and a decision center 2530. Wherein:

[0434] The charging data acquisition unit 2510 is used to collect sample charging data.

[0435] The explanation of the sample charging data has been explained in detail in step S2401, and will not be repeated here for the sake of brevity.

[0436] The habitual charging power tag generation unit 2520 is used to generate habitual charging location tags based on sample charging data.

[0437] The process of the habitual charging location tag generation unit 2520 generating habitual charging location tags based on sample charging data is the same as steps S2402 to S2404, and will not be described again here for the sake of brevity.

[0438] The decision center 2530 is used to query the habitual charging location tag generation unit 2520 for the charging location of the vehicle (whether it is a home charging user or a non-home charging user); it is also used to receive the charging location of the vehicle (whether it is a home charging user or a non-home charging user) sent by the habitual charging location tag generation unit 2520.

[0439] In this embodiment of the application, determining whether a vehicle is a home charging user based on the user's historical charging data can ensure a high degree of accuracy in the determined results, thereby providing a reliable basis for determining a more reasonable reminder method based on whether the vehicle is a home charging user in the future.

[0440] The following, by way of example, combines Figure 26 This section introduces the implementation method for sending charging reminder notifications. For example... Figure 26 As shown, the implementation method 2600 includes:

[0441] S2601: The voice assistant subscribes to charging recommendation events from the decision center.

[0442] It should be understood that this application embodiment uses a voice assistant as an example to illustrate the charging reminder notification, but it is not limited to this. The voice assistant can also be replaced by the control unit of the vehicle system, the control unit of an electronic device that is bound to the vehicle system, etc.

[0443] S2602: The decision center sends the first query message to the environmental sensing unit.

[0444] The first query message is used to query one or more of the following: the user's usual charging range, the vehicle's current remaining battery level, whether the vehicle is a home charging user, and the temperature of the next day. It can also be used to query other information, which is not limited in this application.

[0445] It should be understood that step S2602 is not executed only once. For example, it can be a daily scheduled query; it can be a query when the vehicle is detected to start; it can be a query when the vehicle is detected to stop; it can be a periodic query, etc., so that the result queried by the decision center is the latest result. This application does not limit this.

[0446] S2603: In response to the received first query message, the environmental perception unit sends a first reply message to the decision center.

[0447] The first response message may include one or more of the following: information indicating the user's preferred charging range; information indicating the vehicle's current remaining battery level; information indicating whether the vehicle is a home charging user; and information indicating the temperature for the next day. It may also include other information, which is not limited in this application.

[0448] S2604: The decision center sends the first registration message to the environmental sensing unit.

[0449] Optionally, when the decision center determines that the vehicle is a home charging user based on the first reply message, the first registration message is used to subscribe to the user's home arrival reminder event; when the decision center determines that the vehicle is not a home charging user based on the first reply message, the first registration message is used to subscribe to the vehicle start reminder event.

[0450] S2605: In response to the received first registration message (for subscribing to the user's arrival home reminder event), when the environmental perception unit detects parking and the distance between the vehicle and home is less than a third threshold, a second response message is sent to the decision center. This second response message includes information indicating that the user has arrived home. Alternatively,

[0451] In response to the received first registration message (for subscribing to vehicle start reminder events), when the environmental perception unit detects that the vehicle has started, it sends a second response message to the decision center, which includes information for instructing the user to start the vehicle.

[0452] S2606: The decision center determines whether the charging reminder conditions are met.

[0453] The method for determining whether the charging reminder conditions are met is as follows: Figures 12 to 20 The embodiments shown have been described in detail, and for the sake of brevity, they will not be repeated here.

[0454] S2607: In response to the subscription notification from the voice assistant, when the decision center determines that the charging reminder conditions are met, a first instruction message is sent to the voice assistant, which is used to instruct the voice assistant to issue a charging reminder notification.

[0455] Optionally, the first indication information includes information for indicating the display format of the charging reminder notification.

[0456] For example, Figure 27 A schematic block diagram of a charging reminder device 2700 provided in an embodiment of this application is shown. Figure 27 As shown, the device 2700 includes:

[0457] The determining module 2701 is used to determine the user's habitual charging capacity range (first capacity value, second capacity value) based on the user's charging behavior, and / or to determine the third capacity value of the electric vehicle.

[0458] The explanations regarding the first, second, and third battery levels, and the user's charging behavior are as follows: Figures 12 to 15 The embodiments shown have been described in detail, and for the sake of brevity, they will not be repeated here.

[0459] Optionally, the determination module 2701 is also used to determine whether the user is a home-charging user.

[0460] The explanation regarding determining whether a user is a home charging user is as follows: Figures 13 to 20 The embodiments shown have been described in detail, and for the sake of brevity, they will not be repeated here.

[0461] The decision module 2720 is used to determine whether a charging reminder notification needs to be sent to the user.

[0462] Among them, the method for determining whether to send a charging reminder notification to the user is as follows: Figures 12 to 20 The embodiments shown have been described in detail, and for the sake of brevity, they will not be repeated here.

[0463] The charging reminder control module 2730 is used to send a charging reminder notification to the user when it is necessary to do so.

[0464] The method of sending charging reminders to users may vary depending on different vehicle conditions, etc. The specific method is as follows: Figures 12 to 20 The embodiments shown have been described in detail, and for the sake of brevity, they will not be repeated here.

[0465] Different users have different psychological safety thresholds for the remaining battery power of electric vehicles. In this embodiment, the decision module can determine whether the electric vehicle driven by the user needs to be charged based on the user's charging habits. When it is determined that the electric vehicle needs to be charged, the charging reminder module will remind the user to charge. In this way, it can effectively avoid the anxiety caused by the remaining battery power of the electric vehicle being below its psychological safety threshold, thereby improving the user experience.
